Georgia-Pacific is a leading developer of tissue, pulp, packaging, building products, and related chemicals.
The transaction includes Georgia-Pacific’s Mount Holly, North Carolina air-laid manufacturing operation along with a nonwovens product development operation and associated employees in Memphis, Tennessee, which collectively employ approximately 140 people. The Mount Holly facility produces high-quality air-laid products focused on wipes and table top materials. The new product development resources will enhance ongoing innovation efforts, Glatfelter said in a press release.Glatfelter, a US-based global supplier of engineered materials, has announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of Georgia-Pacific's US nonwovens business for $175 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.
